Instantiate view on backbone Router?

Question

Can anyone help me understand this error? TIA

TypeError: AppView is not a constructor [Break On This Error] var apView = new AppView();

define([
    'jquery',
   'backbone',
   'collections/Directory',
   'views/app',
   'common'
   ]   , function( $, Backbone, DirectoryCollection,AppView , Common ) {

var Workspace = Backbone.Router.extend({
    routes:{            
        "filter/:type": "urlFilter"
    },      

urlFilter: function (type) {            
        var apView = new AppView();
        apView.filterType = type;
        apView.trigger("change:filterType");          
    },

});
return Workspace;

});

Is AppView either in scope or attached to the window object, as well as extending Backbone.View?

what do you mean attached? appView is in "app.js' file – koko Oct 08 '12 at 10:00
Actually that likely isn't your problem... Try new AppView instead of new AppView(). If that doesn't work can you post your code for AppView? – Jordan Denison Oct 08 '12 at 14:55
